Mayor Eric Adams has often clashed with the president, constantly begging Washington for money to solve a disaster that he claimed will 'destroy my city'
It comes alongside the news there are now over 67,000 migrants living in the city's shelter system, over triple the 21,300 at this time last year
Adams says he would ship migrants from the border across the country and give them a three-year deadline to get themselves settled
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The soldier was one of 91 returning from the Middle East in support of Operation Spartan Shield.
The troops deployed last February and have been stationed in various parts of the Middle East but mainly Kuwait, where they performed security operations and training with allied forces.

Filing is easy. Getting the court to actually take up the case...
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Independent Member of the British Parliament, Claudia Webb, has filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court to investigate Israeli war crimes in the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip, demanding that the perpetrators be prosecuted.
The MP for Leicester East said, in a post on her account on the "X" platform, that the scale of the bombing of Gaza and the loss of civilian lives requires immediate action.
Claudia added, "I will not be an accomplice to the crimes that occur in Gaza."
"As a member of the British Parliament, I signed a complaint to the International Criminal Court to investigate war crimes committed by Israel in the Gaza Strip and prosecute their perpetrators." She said.
Claudia, known in Britannia for her stances in support of peoples’ rights to self-determination, stressed, saying, "We cannot remain silent."
In a second post, she called on her supporters to sign the international initiative "Justice for Gaza," with the aim of mobilizing international positions to stop the war against civilians in the Strip.

[Ynet] Authorities in Germany recently outlawed Hamas ...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... , and it turns out that it is not only for Israel's sake; Investigation reveals that the terror group has a network of operatives all over the country, including German citizens, who raise money for it and incite against Israel
Hamas' October 7 massacre and the war that followed it created two trends in Germany: Large and violent mostly peaceful pro-Paleostinian popular demonstrations and almost total support for Israel from politicians and government authorities, who, among other things, imposed a ban on membership in and activities of the organizations Hamas and Samidoun, which is an arm of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine.
On Thursday, four Hamas members were arrested in a joint operation - three in Germany and one in the Netherlands, and now it is beginning to become clear how wide and deep the infrastructure of the Hamas organization in Germany is.
The General Prosecutor's Office in Germany reported that the three suspects arrested in the country had been under surveillance for more than six months, and authorities were aware of their attempts to find an underground weapons cache prepared by Hamas a long time ago. The goal of the Hamas Death Eaters had been to transfer the weapons to Berlin to hit Israeli and Jewish targets.
Employees of the German security service told the weekly Der Spiegel that Hamas elements have been under surveillance, wiretapping and intelligence gathering for a long time. The authorities' new decision to outlaw the organization only made the prosecution, arrests and surveillance of the organization's members easier.
For years, Hamas has benefited from the fact that its activities and its collection of funds in Germany have been ignored, even though it has been on the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... 's list of terrorist organizations since 2001. Why has it suddenly been closely monitored in recent months? It turns out that this is not only about sympathy for Israel, but also about the growing fear of the authorities that the organization will carry out terrorist attacks against Germany itself.
According to the German security services, the main man of Hamas activity in Germany is Majed Khalil Musa al-Zeer. al-Zeer, 61, claimed that the October 7 attack was an act of self-defense by the Paleostinians. Referring to the Moslem population in Berlin, he previously said that "the city plays a significant part in the Paleostinian struggle."
The German Interior Ministry claims that al-Zeer, who holds British citizenship and moved from London to Berlin in 2014, is the unofficial representative of Hamas in Germany and has connections with the most big shots of the organization. According to the security authorities, al-Zeer has an even more central role: he is the organization's contact person throughout Europe, and is suspected of planning attacks against Jewish and Israeli targets throughout Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... from his seat in Berlin. During the many raids conducted in Germany since the decision to outlaw Hamas activities, the security forces also arrived at al-Zeer's home.
The information obtained from him and from other sources presents a frightening picture: The Hamas network is spread across the length and breadth of Germany, in central cities and remote villages. Many German citizens consistently praise the terrorists, collect funds for them, and engage in ceaseless incitement against Jews and Israel. From the findings discovered by the security authorities, it appears that among them are doctors, lawyers, accountants and other respected professionals who are highly valued by their neighbors and clients, who hold various positions in organizations that support Hamas.
Beyond the intelligence gathering and arrests, the Germans are trying to cut off the organization's economic pipeline. It turns out that Hamas manages to raise a lot of money through small donations, and many raids are carried out to confiscate "charity funds," small, and very innocent, found in many stores.
Meanwhile, ...back at the shootout, Butch started the buffalo stampeding...... eavesdropping on WhatsApp messages and posts on social networks revealed to the authorities that a suburb near Berlin is becoming a Hamas center. In that place, the local imam has offered blessings for the October massacre. In response, the local municipality decided to buy a building that was intended to become an Islamic community center.
Four members of the militant Islamist group Hamas were arrested in Berlin and the Netherlands, German public prosecutors said on Thursday.
The four individuals, Abdelhamid Al A., Mohamed B., Ibrahim El-R., and Nazih R., were detained on suspicion of planning attacks on Jewish institutions in Europe by finding and storing weapons in Berlin, the prosecutor’s office said in a statement.
Prosecutors said that the group have been "long-standing members of Hamas and have participated in Hamas operations abroad."
According to the prosecutor's office, the men have close links to the organization's military branch.
One of the men has Dutch nationality, two were born in Lebanon and the fourth has Egyptian citizenship.
[JPost] Shhhhh it's a secret
Senior Hamas officials held a secret meeting last week in Turkey, Israel's national broadcaster KAN revealed on Sunday night.
At the head of the meeting were Deputy Chairman of the Political Bureau of Hamas Saleh al-Arouri, who attended from his residence in Beirut, and former Hamas chief Khaled Mashal, who lives in the Qatari capital, Doha. Several other senior Hamas officials attended, according to KAN.
Turkey was deliberately chosen as the site of the meeting, as it was deemed safe enough for the leaders to meet there. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has continually used anti-Israel rhetoric since the start of the Israel-Hamas War, declaring Israel guilty of war crimes.
The meeting was held to coordinate Hamas's next steps in the current conflict with Israel.
Hamas leaders have yet to determine their next steps in the war, both within Gaza itself and the role of Iran-proxy group Hezbollah in Lebanon, but KAN reported that another hostage-prisoner deal may be on the table. On Sunday night, Egyptian officials stated that Israel and Hamas are both open to a renewed ceasefire and hostage release, although disagreements remain on how it would be implemented.
The Hamas leadership chose to hold their secret meeting in a third country abroad and not by technological means, such as a video conference or an encrypted phone call, to allow everyone to sit and speak together in a secure environment to prevent Israeli intelligence from infiltrating.
[MSN] President Joe Biden’s border chief has proposed capping illegal migration at one million a year if the GOP approves $61 billion for the war in Ukraine. If they can drop it to 1 million, they can drop it to zero
The offer, aimed at curbing mass migration, has sparked negotiations, with some GOP members viewing it as a good faith offer.
However, not all Republicans are on board, and a deal before Christmas seems unlikely.

While I am 100% for Trump and/or who he supports in 2024.
I am having serious issues, with the DC Swamp, and the so-called Republicans.
In 2024, how about Clearly WRITTEN contractually obligated, or resign, promises from the Republican's to us, their voters?

BTW some suggestions:
Using US ICE estimates of over 14 Million illegals already here. The 1 Million per year suggestion should require 14 Million be deported first.
Plus, A FEDERAL LAW, clearly stating NO Illegal person may be supported, or cared for using Taxpayer money at any government level. Other than required Emergency Medical care. Making it a Felony level Offense.
Plus, businesses found to KNOWINGLY employ Illegals shall be fined $100K per year or part year of employment per Illegal.
Plus immediate deportation hearings and all family members deported as a group.
#10
Anyone voting for such should be executed for treason for aiding and abetting a foreign invasion of the United States. Same with any business hiring them. Illegals should be captured, samples taken for identification and deported, being told if they are found here again, it's the death penalty.
There are no excuses and no defense against those aiding a foreign power invade our country.

And in a welcoming gesture, CA will soon approve toilet water as being potable. No worries, it's gonna be "treated". The illegals will feel right at home.

Re #16, I recently crawled (with generous application of Showa olive oil) through a couple of sections of SD's prodigious pee pipe. On the surface, of course. Fun convo with geriatric tweakers about how they hadn't seen a single soul do likewise (this on a busy suburban shopping block) and how when they were kids there'd have been downhill tricycle races through the dammed thing.

Okay, I lied. I'm way too cheap to buy that fancy Showa stuff (though I did enjoy reading about it). And I guess it was more scrambling than crawling. But besides that...

[Regnum] In 2024, The United States will have its smallest military in more than 80 years. Under the $886 billion defense bill passed by Congress, the total number of active-duty military personnel in the United States will be reduced to 1.28 million, the Daily Mail reported. .
“This is the lowest figure since the United States entered World War II in 1941,” the publication indicated.
"This is due, in particular, to the problem of recruitment into the army. The goals set for this indicator were not achieved in the Navy and Air Force. As I specified. O. Deputy Department of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, Ashish Vazirani, the shortfall in 2023 in the ground forces, navy and air force amounted to 41,000 people.
He noted that those born after 1997 have a low level of trust in government institutions and fewer and fewer representatives of this generation are guided by traditional life values and follow the path of career growth.
Vazirani recalled that if two decades ago 25% of young people did not think about serving in the army, now this figure has exceeded 50%, which has led to a gap between the military and a significant part of society.
As reported by IA Regnum, former Pentagon adviser Colonel Douglas McGregor On October 22, he stated thatthe US Army is exhausted and is experiencing a shortage of people. According to him, the US Armed Forces that existed in 1991 no longer exist. He added that at the moment the United States cannot afford to participate in any conflict due to exhaustion from senseless occupation wars.
Former Fox News TV presenter Tucker Carlson also spoke about the weakening of the United States Army. In his opinion, it isweaker than at any time in the last 50 yearsdue to the senseless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the policy of the American Department of Defense in general.< /span>
US Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth at a hearing on April 20, said that the country's Armed Forces are facing a reduction in structure due to the ongoing situation with a shortage of recruits. She emphasized that already in 2023 the country faces a challenge related to the inability to recruit a sufficient number of volunteers into the troops. This year, 64 thousand new military personnel are expected to join the ranks of the American army. In 2024, the US authorities intend to recruit another 65.5 thousand soldiers.
At the end of December, the Fox News channel disseminated information that the United States Army was missing 15,000 recruits, which is almost 25% of planned number of conscripts.

Self inflicted wound (which in traditional military justice invokes punitive punishment to the miscreants). The old 'bad economy easy recruiting' meme is no longer is in effect.

[IsraelTimes] PM: I’m proud I blocked a Palestinian state. Looking at Gaza, everyone sees what would have happened.
At the Tel Aviv press conference, Netanyahu is asked by a reporter why he did not withdraw from the Oslo Accords, given that he keeps criticizing them.
"I inherited the Oslo Accords," he says. "The decision to bring the PLO from Tunis, and plant it in the heart of Judea and Samaria [West Bank], and in Gaza, was a decision made and implemented before I became prime minister. I thought it was a terrible mistake and I still do."
Turning on the reporter, he says: "You and your journalist friends have been blaming me for almost 30 years for putting the brakes on the Oslo Accords, and preventing the Palestinian state. That’s true," he says.
Simply stated:
The fact that the Palestinian state leadership has aided, harbored, failed to report and/or supported various Anti-Israeli Terrorist groups every day for those 30 years shows who the real enemy is.
What Israel is doing is what any nation would do.
Hunt down and destroy those terrorists killing innocent civilians.
Plus, blaming Israel given all the videos of the HAMAS Oct 7th, Massacre of civilians, rape of kids and even of beheading babies. Clearly shows the media source supports Genocide are not a NEWS source, but a propaganda outlet.

Terrorist supporters who fluff this nonsense think this is a gotcha moment. Look, see - the dirty jews have been blocking a palestinian state since they killed jesus.
Terror Fluffers will ignore arab-palestinian suicide bombings and the calls for jewish genocide like that is documented in the Hamas Charter. A cultural misunderstanding they would have us believe.
Same low IQ people have no idea Palestinians killed the Arab Leaders who made peace with the jews.
Same low IQ people will ignore why Palestinians were kicked out of Jordan.
Same low IQ people will ignore why Egypt never offered Gaza Palestinians a homeland, despite Egypt's ruling over Gaza for how long... since jesus maybe... Lot longer than the jews.
[Jpost] Iran used a group of Hebrew-speaking women in the northern city of Mashad to send sexually explicit images to Israeli soldiers in attempts to access information, news outlet Iran International revealed over the weekend.
According to the report, the young women were trained by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), were fluent in Hebrew, and contacted the soldiers over social media, sending them explicit videos and photos to gain information.
The names and profiles were fake, but the photos and videos that were sent were real, according to Iran International pictures and videos to the victims. Many had the women wearing hats, heavy make-up, revealing clothes, or, in some cases, nude.
Some 22 different profiles were reportedly created. Two of the Mashad-based women were identified as Samira Baghbani Tarshizi and Haniyeh Ghaffarian.
"While they execute young women for perceived immodesty, they simultaneously exploit Iranian women to entice men on social networks," the news outlet stated.
According to Iran International, the information gained from the soldiers was passed on to Hamas.
HAMAS USES SAME METHODS
These honeypot-style entrapments are nothing new to IDF soldiers. Hamas has been using the same tactics for years in attempts to endanger soldiers' lives or gain access to military information.
In 2022, the IDF uncovered and foiled a Hamas network posing as young women on social networks in order to honeypot IDF soldiers.
The profiles approached Israelis on Telegram and various social networks that dealt with soccer and dating and tried to implant spyware under the guise of a puzzle app.
Iran International is a dissident Persian language news television channel and website headquartered in London that regularly provides exposés on the activities of the IRGC.

Cyberattack shuts down about 70% of Iran's gas stations Israeli hacker group Predatory Sparrow takes responsibility for cyberattack; 'Khamenei, playing with fire has a price'; meanwhile, Israel accuses Iran and Hezbollah of cyberattack on hospital
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics.
[ColonelCassad] "After 70 days, Hamas was not destroyed.
To be fair, Israel’s said they aren’t anywhere near done yet.
The resistance was not disarmed.
...but it’s a great deal less armed than it was on October 6th.
Zionist prisoners of war were not released during the war.
True. Hamas may yet come to decide that was a serious error of judgement.
The forced migration plan for Gazans was unsuccessful.
Really? It appears to me that many of those considered civilians moved themselves out of the way as instructed, leaving the battlefield much clearer of obstacles of all sorts.
Despite continued war crimes against women and children, Palestine is now the final winner in this unequal field.
It’s not yet over, so we’ll wait to see who actually will have won when y’all reach the finish line. Allah doesn’t take orders from Iran, no matter what the Mad Mullahs might think.
Zionist regime authorities continue to commit crimes more heinous than the actions of ISIS, but they must make progress and be able to compensate for their shameful historical failure." (c) Iranian Foreign Ministry
Taqiyya from those who are proud to call their god The Father of Lies.
PS. Today, another major shipping company, OOCL, has stopped shipping to Israel via the Red Sea.
Not just to Israel, but to anyone via the strait.
PS2. In the US, according to a Harvard-Harris polling survey,
...an on-line poll, meaning the respondents self-selected...
more than half of young people under 25 believe the creation of a Palestinian state led by Hamas is justified and the liquidation of the State of Israel.
PS3. The United States is trying to create a coalition in the Middle East to attack Yemen, but even if this succeeds, Yemen has endured seven years of systematic bombing by the Saudi coalition, and the start of such attacks will only lead to increased attacks on ships in the Red Sea, where shipping may cease altogether.
There is a significant difference between being bombed by America and anyone else. Perhaps you’ll be lucky enough to experience it.
